On Saturday September 10th, I included myself in oral interpretation. In oral interpretation I read some of Shakespeare's sonnets to people that were involved in oral interpretation too. It was really fun considering the fact that people put their emotions into the writings other people created. I enjoy hearing other poems from other writers. Oral interpretation helped me become more familiar with Shakespeare's writings. It also helped me get to know him and what his writings were about. This was definitely an unforgettable experience.
Vermillion Writer's Group
On Monday September 19th, I attended a writer's group so I could experience and socialize with other writers. At first I was nervous to meet the people that were involved with this group, but I fit right in! The first thing we did was talk about what kind of things we write. We also talked about our favorite books and what they're about. Secondly, we picked out a silly word from a stack and had to write a story using that word. Considering it was close to Halloween, even by just a month, we had to write a story that had to do with something spooky. The word I got was "schemical" which means, an awkward and unlucky person for whom things never turnout right. Imagine creating a story using just one word! After we picked our word we were given 10 minutes to write And after those 10 minutes were up we shared our stories. I enjoyed the experience of hearing what other people wrote, it is fascinating to hear what other people come up with. We all shared our pieces and after we did that we 'criticized' eachothers work and tried to see how we could make it better. I was amazed by how greatly everyone was welcomed. This experience was incredible and I am glad I was a part of it!
Meeting With Mentor
When I met with my mentor I was kind of nervous to see what she had to say about my writings. We went to Café Brûlée and ate there. After we were done eating we sat there and discussed my work. Leslie, my mentor, actually felt as if she could connect with my writings and that's exactly what I wanted. I was happy to discover at least one reader enjoyed my writings. She began to tell me how I should write my poems so that they look appealing to the eye. While she was correcting my poems she began to just tell me something about them and I got even more creative ideas from her. Leslie suggested I made my titles longer like the Fall Out Boy song titles just to draw attention to the reader. She gave me a lot of great ideas. I'm glad Leslie was my mentor because not only did I learn a lot from her, but I also learned different writing techniques for this project.
